4. Authority Cited: Title III of the Federal Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949 (41U.S.C. 251, et. Seq) and Title 40 U.S.C 501, Services for Executive Agencies, as implemented by FAR 8.405-6 and substantiated by the following:

X FAR 8.405-6(a)(1)(i)(B). Only one source is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services are unique or highly specialized.

5. Reason for Authority Cited: The government procured Citrix software with perpetual licenses which provides HRC with the necessary license and software maintenance to maintain our existing Citrix infrastructure currently installed in HRCs existing Data Center. In accordance with DOD Instruction 8500.2, Software maintenance is required to enable HRC to stay up to date on Xendesktop software and Licenses. To properly maintain the software in order to maintain network and data security, the software must receive all applicable updates and patches. Citrix is the sole manufacturer and source for renewal offerings for maintenance of the product. Citrix has established a distributor agreement with EC America a subsidiary of Immix Group as the sole provider for authorized software and hardware maintenance.

6. Actions to Increase Competition: Posted RFI on GSA, contacted SEWP and CHESS vendors with the renewal part number in their price list. In each case, the vendors stated that they were no longer able to provide the maintenance renewal. The products to be acquired with this acquisition fit within the framework of a larger end to end system therefore, no other brands were considered. Upon end of life cycle of the entire system, all available hardware/software packages available from CHESS vendors will be considered.

7. Market Research: This brand name product maintenance is not available through

CHESS and the required statement of non-availability(SONA) has been provided. Citrix is the sole manufacturer and source for renewal offerings for maintenance of the product.

Citrix has established a distributor agreement with EC America a subsidiary of Immix Group as the sole provider for authorized software and hardware maintenance.
